About

A practical engineer with a strategic lens.

I'm Engr. Uzzul Hoque, Head of Utility at DBL Industrial Park Ltd — part of DBL Group, one of Bangladesh's leading textile and apparel conglomerates.

My work sits at the intersection of heavy engineering and operational excellence: keeping a complex industrial ecosystem running reliably while pushing it toward measurable energy and sustainability gains.

I lead multidisciplinary teams across power generation, steam and thermal systems, HVAC, compressed air, water and effluent treatment — translating engineering decisions into business outcomes.

Utility flow

From incoming power to the production floor.

How generation, distribution and the four process utilities connect — the chain a utility head keeps running around the clock.

Dashed: gas-engine heat recovery (co-generation)

Grid supply, gas and diesel gensets and solar PV feed the HT substation and LV distribution, which powers the steam, compressed air, HVAC and water systems. Gas-engine heat recovery also supplies steam. All four utilities serve production.

Utility leadership

What a utility head must keep under control.

The role is more than running machines. It means balancing safety, uptime, energy cost, regulatory discipline, people and future capacity while production depends on every decision.

  • Safety & compliance

    Builds operating discipline around electrical safety, boiler compliance, environmental standards, SOPs and audit readiness.

  • Reliability & maintenance

    Drives uptime through preventive maintenance, condition monitoring, spares planning and rapid response for critical utility assets.

  • Energy KPI & cost control

    Tracks load, fuel, steam, water, compressed air and chiller performance to reduce waste and improve cost per unit of production.

  • Team & vendor leadership

    Leads multidisciplinary engineers, operators, contractors and OEM partners through projects, shutdowns and capacity expansions.
